Rainbows and Pebbles

Rainbows and Pebbles

I am annoyed
as grass,
         a beetle,
and three pebbles
tumble out
of my son's jeans
into the washer.

I must learn
to treasure
the rainbows
in his pockets
The hopes,
         the dreams,
                  and joys
they represent.

Inconvenienced
I retrieve
his loot
and find myself
    smiling.
